: First Albie of the Season (New Lo Ann)
: Latimeria July 01, 2021, 06:28:54 p
The first albie of the season was caught on the New Lo Ann (Currently heading back to the dock).  I know there's a ton of huge bluefin around, but it would be nice to see some albies in the mix again.  Maybe it's just that I haven't caught one in over 12 years, but also it would be much nicer to my shoulder and back pulling on a 25# albie than a 100# bluefin.  I know, how selfish of me.  hahahaha.

I saw that as well, very interesting stuff. The bluefin thing is super cool but so tough with the range in size of fish out there right now. Could run into a 20 pounder or a 400 pounder, all on a 1.5 day. I wish I could just go out with 30-40lb gear and have a time of it but Im a fool not to have a 100# reel at the ready.Best I got is 80 and it sounds like I'm asking for trouble with that. Idk, I shouldn't be dropping $600 on a high risk trip like that right now anyways.
